XG-C50 I have a Sharp Notevision XG-C50X that strikes the lamp and then after about a minute the lamp goes dark. The green lamp indicator blinks green and after about 30 seconds you hear a relay and the lamp re-strikes. The on off cycle repeats about 3 or 4 times and then the lamp indicator goes red and its game over until you reset. I replaced the lamp but the problem remains. All the fans are spinning and it really never has a chance to get overly hot for the short amount of time the lamp is lit. Any suggestions?

Your lamp is not lighting up most likely. Try removing the lamp assembly and clean the contacts. If that does not work then you will probably need to replace the lamp. Also try resetting the timers. Refer to you owner's manual for info on how.
